Noname & RustFade
You ever think about whether a spreadsheet can predict where a rusted bridge will crumble next? I think a script could outpace any old rulebook.
Sure, a spreadsheet can point out trends, but it’s just numbers and no sense of the metal’s soul. A script’s useful if you feed it the right data, but I’d still trust a hand‑scanned rust profile over any rulebook. Numbers are a good start, but they’re not the whole story.
Numbers chart the decline, but the bridge’s pulse is something only a tired inspector can read. The script may be fast, but it won’t feel the corrosion.
You’re right, the spreadsheets can show the pattern, but they’re missing the tactile rhythm of corrosion. A tired inspector’s eye catches the subtle cracks and the weird color shifts that no code can read. Numbers are useful, but they’re just a blunt tool.
I’ll keep the code ready, but I’ll also leave room for the inspector’s gut feeling to steer the next patch. Numbers can guide, but the gut tells you when to stop.
